How to grow happiness and saturday morning with Kandeeeeee!

this is the look of happiness even in though my body feels more like "Sleepless in Seattle"...except that I'm no where near Seattle! ha ha ha

My random thoughts on tv right now: since I've watched more tv since I'm awake all night with baby, than I think I have in years...I am now fully caught up on on "reality-ness"...and man, I have to say...tv seems to like to enjoy to showing how awful, rude, and mean people can be...
it's almost like the worse people are the more popular the show is! this is so sad...and makes me feel awful seeing people being so mean and rude.
there should be a channel that shows fun, positive, nice people...that can still be cool and hip and stylish, but just nice and kind to other people...something that makes you feel better after you've watched it!

Here's some wise words everyone should have taped on their mirror (ha ha ha):Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

imagine how great our days would be if everyone we talked to said kind, inspiring things....and didn't say anything rude, sarcastic, or mean!?!

this is a dare...or rather this is our mission, if you choose to accept it:

today (go crazy..make it everyday)...stop yourself when you start to say anything that isn't positive, kind, or anything slightly gossip-y....
and only say things that have a positive spin, are kind, happy and encouraging.....
watch how YOU will not only feel happier...but so will everyone that is around you!
they will leave happier for having talked to you!

so let's get out there...especially all of you because I'm not really leaving my house much with the new baby...ha ha ha...and spread some kindess...and extra "thank you so much" or "have an awesome day!"....or real compliment to brighten someone's day up!

you are wonderful and the happiness in your heart is like a flower with seeds that are waiting to be thrown all around...to grow more happiness in other people's hearts!

I will accept this mission, even though today has turned out to be one of my most discouraging. Maybe spreading some kindness and happiness will stifle these ugly feelings I am feeling. Thank you so much Kandee, you're the best friend a girl could ever ask for.

Kandee, I love you and the way the way you think! You have a pure heart and a pure soul, and it's so rare to find that these days. Thank you for being such a wonderful role model and inspiration to the world!xo

Oh, I started this yesterday! There is this really toxic person I work with. Her attitude is always just nasty which puts that negativity in the air. Well, I decided yesterday I would stop allowing her to drag me down! I just smiled and responded to her happily and with joy. I know it may not make a huge difference, but I FEEL BETTER! It's all about making myself a better person by rising above the negativity and being happy in my world! Thanks, Kandee! I think this is an important mission for us all!

I accept the challenge! I'm going to share this with my younger sister who is beginning to fall into the worldly snare of negativity. Maybe this will help inspire her to see how unique and beautiful communication can be. Thanks for being such a fantastic example, Kandee! You always make my day brighter with your encouraging words of wisdom. :)

I totally agree with you, Kandee!! Not only should there be lots of channels showing the good and the decent out there, but all the negative stuff should be taken off. I don't want or need to see any of it.You are a bright spot in my day.

Hey kandee, this is weird BECAUSE lately i've been thinking how i needed to change my thinking and feelings towards other especially those that are so negative and only try to make things difficult...I need to be more positive. I will definitely take on this challenge....I always feel that you get back what you give out; positive out brings positive in...Have an awesome day every1!!!

I have been trying to stick to this mission for while now. Sometimes our anger or bad thoughts rule over our actions but now I realize I can control them! I love this possitive input and hope everyone can share the same goal!! Happy smiles and huge hugs for u and kids!!

I choose to ACCEPT this dare ! Because so many times I feel angry and dislike to all those people that have caused negativity in my life, I'm always feeling a feeling of ugliness. But thanks for giving me a challenge which I am positive I'll strive for for my own good ! Thank you flower that has sprinkled her seeds on all of us ! :)Xoxoxo

Wise words Kandee. I truly believe that positive affirmations are hundreds of times more powerful and it's also important to really feel happy and positive (guided meditations are great for instilling that feeling)and, most importantly, no matter what has happened to you in your life, you must be grateful for all the good things you have. Every day write down at least 5 things you are grateful for (even if it's the simplest things like the air you breathe, the clothes you are wearing, the food in your belly, etc) and as you develop an attitude of gratitude, more good things will come into your life you will start to see the world changing around you! :-) xxx

hi kandee funny that you posted this because I recently started a journey on my own down this path. I am a naturally positive person, but when I am around it a lot I can get in on it. then I hate myself later. I asked my aunt at the beginning of the yr to join this positive diet/ positive mind mission and she agreed. I kind of scared her because I was so upset abt it. I hear my 7 yr old niece talk abt people in a negative light and that day it just really bothered me. (because kids hear it, then repeat it) I want her to grow up seeing the positive in people and truly enjoying her childhood instead of pointing out all the bad things. I am so glad I started reading ur blogs/ videos because I sometimes feel like we are long distance kindred spirits. lol Keep up the great work!

thanks kandee you are my inspiration do you think you can help me out on valentines day i really dont know hot to do my makeup for that day please do a video befor the 14th please need your help thanks :)

I love this..I must admit, it convicted me a bit, I just posted a status that reflected my disgust towards young girls obsessing over justin bieber...it wasn't very nice either...but its something that really bothers me. BUT! you are so right!!! being kind is always better. =)

I completely agree with you! I challenged my friends and others reading my blog last week to challenge themselves to do one random act of kindness a day for a week! It is amazing how small acts of kindness can make others so happy and just really turn their day around! What a positive message you have with so much negativity in our lives!

Hi Kandee! I recently have found your blog and it's great to know you :), an amazing person with an admirable life philosophy, full of love and kind thoughts, as you said it's sad to watch TV, 'cause the most part of shows are so mean a lot of anger, fights and jokes wich are offensive :(. Certainly i would like to see a TV more kind.. even more, i'll love to see the kandee show :D! xOxO!

First of all, I just want to say I love your blog! It's such a positive place. I completely agree with you about reality tv and just how negative people are in general these days. I try not to say anything mean or negative or even entertain those thoughts and I find that it's a much better way to live.

Ephesians 4:29I think I need to tape this verse in my car, on my work computer, on my cell phone, to my forehead haha! I'll also say it is much easier when you surround yourself with positive and pleasant people.

"I have to say, TV seems to enjoy showing how awful, rude, and mean people can be. It's almost like the worse people are, the more popular the show is!"

This is one way to meet supply and demand. The more demand for depravity there is on the airwaves, the more they will supply it. I, too, am disgusted by all that crap. I mean, how many times has Maury Povich done the whole: "Who Is My Child's Father?" I mean, really? You've been on air for how long? and you can't come up with anything new?

"This is so sad and makes me feel awful seeing people being so mean and rude. There should be a channel that shows fun, positive, nice people that can still be cool and hip and stylish, but just nice and kind to other people. Something that makes you feel better after you've watched it!

I believe that show exists. (or did at one time) It's called: The Kandee Johnson ShowIt is/was online, how about taking it to the masses? lol

I know exactly what you're talking about! The media today is so negative. My friend and I a while ago noticed how we would sit around and talk about all the things we hated, until we decided to flip it around and started talking about all the things we liked. It was a lot more fun.In other words I accept the challenge 1000 time over:)

I too have noticed all the negativity on TV and I feel like it is affecting how people interact with one another. I truly feel like more people are mean, rude, disrespectful and have foul mouths. I would like to know when it became cool to be a jerk. I don't understand it and I wish there were more positive TV shows. Whatever happened to the shows that honored good family values, helping one another and finding happiness in whatever was thrown your way. I accept the mission and I hope that I am successful because it makes me sad how negative and mean people are and not just on TV. I have noticed it at the grocery store, the doctors office and pretty much everywhere I go. Very few people are kind and courteous anymore and it kind of breaks my heart. I want my children growing up in a positive world surrounded my love and happiness but I guess there is a lot more sadness in the world the trick is to find happiness in the little things.

I'm trying to do that everyday! A smile can make such a HUGE different when meeting someone. You are the best Kandee! You should have a show on TV to inspire people and to spread happiness around the world. Because that's what you do! Love you! Have an amazing day!, Sophie <3

Hello there! Your mission is very positive, great and estimable, but it's a rocky path :/ I'm rather a positive person myself, but being nice to other people is difficult. From what I've experienced people tend to mistake kindness with being naive and try to use me as much as possible. As if me being cheerful and kind to them meant I'd always obliged and accepted what they dish out :/ A few days ago a small girl asked me if a dog we both saw was bad. I told her that dogs were always good, only people were bad...

I have been noticing that I have been complaining a lot about myself, or silly little petty things. My boyfriend had mentioned that I complain a lot.. So the past few days I have been stopping myself from complaining and I really have seen a difference in my attitude, so has my boyfriend :) I have been happier. This just reminded me of it. Thanks, Kandee. Your words are very inspirational :)

I' ll do that! you are so right about this. there are so many people that are rude, mean... if they say something bad i'll stay nice and say something positive. there are many people that feel sad because there is someone that is mean to them.

So true.... It's such a shame that things like that are what sells in this world... Thanks for this post kandee, I've been becoming a debbie downer of late, but you always have a way of bringing hope to us, even though your miles away. the media can spread negativity but as we can see with ur blog it can also inspire us to love and be positive =)

I used to watch music videos when I was nursing my little one at 3 in the morning. Check CMT VH1 and MTV to see when they play music videos. I didn't have to watch the same infomercials over and over, and it calmed me and the baby down enough to be able to go right back to sleep after feeding. I hope that helps. No need to watch the negativity if you can avoid it :) Love you Kandee!

I decided to start the new year with this positive outlook. After so many bad things happen to us I realized that all things coming from my mouth where so negative, and I realized I wouldn't want to be around people that acted like me. So I change. We need to do something to make life better.

Kandee, I would love for your help in something! You have an amazing heart, boundless kindness, endless happiness and so much more. My husband is the National Coordinator for Pay it Forward Day. (It's the last Thursday in April every year!) Anyways, I think you would be a perfect person to help spread the word and do a random act of kindness on this day and everyday! Check him out at DonovanNichols.com! I hope you consider it! P.S. I would love to see more baby pix, she's beautiful!!!

That's so true because when I see your videos, you're always positive and happy and looking at the bright side of things. IT MAKES ME WANT TO DO THE SAME AND I FEEL MUCH BETTER AFTER SEEING U <3 You know, I could just listen to your voice and feel better because it shines with so much positivity...Thanks so much for all your videos, your comments, your blogs...they are really helping SO much more people than you think in MANY MANY WAYS..we all love you..Have an awesome day !! :P xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
